Open Post – Buckingham Palace Garden Party

The inaugural garden party of the season was held today at Buckingham Palace, the first of two bookends around the coronation. The Queen sported two re-wears: her blue and white Bruce Oldfield dress and broad-brimmed Philip Treacy hat.

Were we just saying we hadn’t seen one of Camilla’s chokers lately? She heard us. Here is the return of a well-loved piece, her four-strand pearl necklace with the small diamond clasp.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were out there supporting the Big Two. Sophie is also in two re-wears, her gingham check Suzannah London coat dress and Jane Taylor hat.

Look who loves a garden party! The Duke is cheeky as ever.

Apologies to the Gloucesters, but as is par for the course, there are no decent photos of them. The Duchess is wearing a re-wear here, as she often does. I hope you can discern the fabulous pearls around her neck in this poor picture. They are something.
